Who can calm down China? 冷静下来Lěngjìng xiàlái

Some say that Mr. Ozawa would have calmed down China when escalating its reaction to the arrest of fishing boat captain if he still remained in power.

However, he is not any better than Mr. Kan when it comes to China's hegemonism. And, both are China lovers.

Many nations have always blamed Japan for its fish catch. Its volume is nothing compared with China's aggressive fishing all over the world.

Japan is the second-largest consumer, but it relies on imports to meet much of its demand

Japan's recent row with China over the arrest of fishing boat captain has mainly resulted from China's desire to control good fising areas and potential reserves of oil and gas in and around Senkaku Islands. (Potential gas & oil reserves in & around Senkaku Islands are estimated to match with those in Iraq. However, it has not been confirmed yet. ).

Up until the report on potential gas & oil reseves in Senkaku Islands was made by UN organ in 1972, nobody cared about those islands.

Senkaku Islands were delcared to be part of Japan in Jan. 14, 1895 after full investigation conducted between 1885 & 1895 by the Japanese government to comfirm that they never belonged to any nation at all.

China & Taiwan now insist that Japan forcibly took over those islands when Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed on http://bit.ly/9Zvafr April 17, 1895. Howerver, Japan declared those islands to be part of Japan on Jan., 14, 1895.

Japan has effectively controlled the islands since then. During US occupation era, some intrusions into the islands by Taiwanese but were expelled by the then Okinawa government.
